Time Accounting: Continuity and Novelty

The work considers the issue of continuity and novelty of the norms on time accounting. It is noted that the educational literature quite correctly presents an understanding of the standard types of time accounting: daily, weekly, at which the norm of hours per day, the week provided by the legislator, is unchanged. The features of consolidation in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and previous codes of summed time accounting, which is used in nonstandard distribution of working time, are shown. Attention was paid to the specifics of fixing certain norms on the accounting of working time in the previously existing KZoT and the modern Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Certain inaccuracies made by the legislator during the fourth codification of labor legislation were revealed. In order to eliminate them, it was proposed to allocate a special chapter 17 «Time Accounting» as part of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation with the corresponding content. Conclusions were formulated on the need to improve certain articles of the current Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
